What?!? Two Engadget Mobile podcasts, in two weeks and on-time...?
This is madness!
Great! Just DLing via Nokia Podcasting.
Hope you are talking N900 price as €1=$1. Nokia don't price its devices by currency level.
Well, if you even talk about that, I will hear soon.
In canada the touch pro 2 on a 3 year contract costs 250 canadian. 1 more year on a contract for 100 dollars off the phone, but its telus which kills any appeal it has to me right now sadly. Then again, we will pay more on the contract so we will still get shafted up north.
Nokia 6620 is the egg shaped one
I would love to own the N900, but find the price a bit steep. It's a shame Vodafone isn't going to carry it in the Netherlands.
Out of interest, in the UK, handset mobile data is tiered on many networks. ie Tmobile has 1GB, 3GB and 10GB plans.
I think the only exception is Orange who has stuck with its rubbish 500mb offering. I blow through 4gigs a month regularly, so the 10gb plan suits me fine and no doubt when the N900 hits my hand, im gonna be pushing that 10gig limit in no time.
I just wanted to mention when I got my BlackBerry Storm on Telus, it did come with a SIM card. I believe I need to call Telus and activate it for international roaming if I ever need to use it, but it's there. So I assume the other global phones (e.g. Touch Pro 2) would be the same.
Hey, thanks for the info.
Sigh i new this would happen
What a surprise, the Engadget mobile podcast is once again behind schedule...
You guys keep doing this either get the god damn podcast going or get rid of it don't drag it out
